Back and neck pain in Las Cruces, NM, are both common problems that most adults will experience at least a few times during their lifetime. Pain in these areas of your body stems from multiple causes, including overuse injuries, car accidents, workplace accidents, aging, and mental stress. The pain can either be acute, which comes on suddenly but passes quickly or chronic, which goes on for several weeks or months with seemingly no response to home remedies or prescription medications.
